The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Main Event

Butler Henry was there on the order of Imperial Princess Gianina.

At the age of six, the princess already knew of the problems regarding the corruption and spiritual power imbalance plaguing the Empire. And of the risks her big brother was taking as he joined their uncle in fighting on the front lines.

So, the Princess tasked the Butler to use her life savings if needed, provided he returned with some of the goods up for auction.

And that was what the dutiful Butler was doing.

It was just that he didn’t expect it to be like this!

If anything, the Imperial family could actually requisition the goods they needed or wanted.

But even when they wanted to buy some of those popular fruits on Star Net, they knew it was rare for it to circulate and be available to the masses. And so they let it go in favor of the people who would only be able to afford those undeniably low prices.

All they could do was to ensure that it remained in the Empire.

So, imagine their surprise when the Princess intercepted a package for her mother.

Butler Henry’s heart almost stopped when he saw the Princess slumped on the floor.

He thought they had been attacked, especially after seeing the box she had next to her.

Was it food poisoning?!

But then he heard small hiccups coming from one Imperial blob.

It was Princess Nina, who was alive but not exactly well.

"?!"

"Your Imperial Highness! What’s wrong? Did you get sick?!" Rushed the Butler, who wanted to take her to the infirmary immediately!

*Hiccup!*

"No—"

*Hiccup!*

"Butler Henry, I... I think I’m going to be punished. I didn’t mean it, I swear!" The little Princess was suddenly curled into a ball, which she usually did when stressed.

"What’s wrong, Princess Nina?" Asked the worried Butler, who somehow realized what had happened.

The crime scene was relatively straightforward. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

As an honest child, the Princess didn’t even clean off her face after eating whatever was on the packet that was definitely not addressed to her.

And there was now just a piece left.

Princess Nina really did not desire to eat everything; it was just that it looked shiny and appealing.

Then, when she opened it, something in her felt the need to taste one!

It was just a tiny bite!

But this tiny bite was unstoppable as it turned into one, then two, and then, somehow, ten!

And now, all that was left was one chip.

One.

The Princess was devastated, as she was even caught red-handed! It was her first time committing a crime, and she didn’t even get the chance to run.

Instead, she curled like those armadillos from her favorite show and stayed there to be caught.

It was impossible to live a life of crime. Thought the Princess, who clutched on the last chip like it was her lifeline.

But then realized that at times like this, there was only one thing that could be done.

"Butler Henry. Please, take the last piece. So, you could know what you’d need to buy for me!"

Implication.

When one is at fault and caught, one must implicate the witness.

And when one cannot beat them, one must join them.

It was a very still moment—like a bamboo suddenly motionless because of the absence of wind.

A really short one—as several people from the boxes descended from their positions like leaping assassins to smell whatever the people from below were getting.
